We already have the OFFICIAL Wii rumor thread (which I will update with another summary before E3) with a list of things waiting to be confirmed or denied (by TGS @ the latest), but what I would like to see is everyones E3 predictions for ALL of E3 and not just Nintendo.
What do you expect from Nintendo, Microsoft & Sony?
What about the 3rd parties, FFXIII, MGS4, RE5, SC4?
Will there be price drop announcements? How about hardware revisions?
Is there a game you expect to be the sleeper hit of the show?
Who is gonna have the best or worse press conference?
If there is anything I missed, please feel free to include and discuss it.
E3 Insider - The Official E3 Website
p.s. This thread is recommended for everyone.......except Kairon.

Mario Kart wii, Pikmin Thrwii, and Luigi Mansion 2 all will be playable
The next Game Boy will be shown
Reggie gets a new catch phrase
Galaxy is delayed to 08
Sony
new E3 blunder (Giant Enemy lobster)
PSP lite
PS3 price cut within the end of the week
All of the "real time trailer" will be show as fake
MS
FFXIII and MGS4 are both ported to 360
Both of the game logos will be tattoo on each of bill gates butt checks
Ms will show off Xboy
Halo 3 delay, fanboy who bought 360 just for Halo 3 cry

I'm going to expect Battalion Wars to be "fully" playable, feature complete. In fact I expect there to be a demo of the multiplayer aspect of it with people across the booth, or whatever they have, from each other. Even better yet have them seperated fully by room. Sense they will probably seperate the long lead time and short lead time media anyways.
Too Human will be there. Though it will only be a short series of demos. One where you go in and out of battle to show the cinematic transitioning, another showing the hub world, uberPlayer demo, and one more showing off a boss battle.
The failure rate of 360 will grudgingly be address because, all media will ask.
If the PS3 drops price then we should see the 360 follow suite but not as steep. Unless a new revision that is quarenteed to not rrod is announced.
PS3 Eyetoy with the card game actually playable. (A card will be swag.)
Galaxy on hand. Prime on hand. Recent Smash build there but only shown to long lead media or if MS and Sony pull out a wammy of a surprise.
Prime will be the focus of the Gamer side of the Nintendo presentation. Focus will still be on Non-gamers even though this is a very gamer centerred event.
We'll fine out whose staying with Nintendo and whose not.
Spore will be there and then delayed....
Space Tycoon playable (Sleeper hit if allowed to spend a good chunk of time with).
Press will be tired still.
Project H.A.M.M.E.R.'s fate may be revealed.
Maybe an announcement on Retro's next project.
Face Training Wiii...
Possible Live price reduction (Though that would probably be next year if they have stiff competition)
A few WiiWare titles announced.
Batarang comes back with immersive rumble. (That would be great. I wouldn't mind using it.)
It will be announced that all PS3's will be PSGimped from now on to save the few cents...
New Character for Smash Revealed through epic trailer that will be fully orchestrated and yeild snippets of new stages and items as well.
Reggie introduces his new close staff. Which will be dressed like the EBA.
EA Hardcore editors get schooled at least once by people playing with family friendly controls.
Wii* series gets it next one announced and it ain't WiiSports 2.
New Mii channel posed for release.
This channel will possibly allow Mii dress up with items earned from games.
Nintendo will finally say how they will handle the space crunch.
Almost everyone in attendance will have a skewed blood alcohol level at one point during.
Sony will magically be showing all those games they promised.
New Wii with optical out and more space...
DS XL shown to public for the first time. More surface area then a DSPhat but skinnier then a DSLite. With a larger screen and actual ergonomics. A larger battery allows for longer play time between charges. Still uses charging ports and stylus of the DSLite. Button shape will be changed to accomodate larger adult hands. Incorporated eBook program...
God of War for the PSP is shown. Looks and runs better then the PS2 versions with the best connections. You can also hear the battery drain...
Nintendo will apologize for the Wii Pokemon game and promise to release an enhanced version of Stadium 2 for the VC.
Upgrade channel announced.
I'll stop there for now...

The only things I'm really banking on are new models of DS and PSP, both of which I'm interested in. Otherwise, I don't like to get my hopes up. There will be some cool announcements, I'm sure, but I'm just waiting for release dates (Galaxy and Brawl) so as long as they're still this year, I won't be disappointed.
I do expect Sony to have an ultra-boring press conference. It's not E3 without Sony's yearly powerpoint of graphs and numbers. However, it can't possibly be more embarrassing than last year. It should be better, just still boring.
MGS4 to 360.
Post by: Mashiro on July 06, 2007, 09:01:09 AM
I'd love to see a real true successor to Starfox 64 be announced . . . but that's just wishful thinking.
I think this year though will definitely mainly be about the 3rd party and new IPs from Nintendo. I just have a feeling a lot of new stuff is going to be shown from Nintendo that we wouldn't expect and a lot of 3rd party games will at least make it to a demo reel.

Okay the PSP I can see but the DS? Why would they release a THIRD revision of it?
I predict that most of Nintendo's "traditional games" will be sequels and the new IPs will be almost all non-games. That just seems to be the trend.
I figure the Wii third party support will improve but there will still be a few major third parties (Konami is usually a good guess) that will just offer ports, remakes, spinoffs, and kids games. However as each E3 goes by we'll see this less and less.
The PS3 will lose some major exclusives either by the game going multiplatform or just switching consoles outright.
Nintendo will either have an amazing press conference that will get everyone talking or a really horrible one that leaves everyone scratching their heads. It's always one extreme or the other. Nintendo doesn't have mediocre E3 press conferences.
The gaming media will award Best of Show to a game that is only shown in video, isn't due to come out for at least two years, is likely on the PC and is without a doubt NOT on a Nintendo system.

There's a rumor going around for new DS featuring larger screens, mainly for old people who have trouble seeing small text. Also, a lot of people with big hands complain about feeling cramped on the Lite. I heard it in person so I can't call BS on that complaint.
And consider that there were 4 different GBA models (including the SP with the brighter screens). It's not something Nintendo has been opposed to doing in the past.

I figure since E3 is new, I don't know what to expect, so I'm not going to make up expectations before the first neo-E3. It makes little sense to. We don't know what they're really planning to do with the time and space this year.

Then maybe those people should, I don't know, buy the OLD DS. Now that isn't any indication that Nintendo won't release the "DS BIG" with this sort of dumb logic in place and it isn't any indication that people won't buy it. It still bugs me that this sort of marketing works ever. You just know there are going to be some idiots that bought the original DS, traded it in and bought a DS Lite, and will now trade in their Lite to get a new DS to solve the problem of the Lite being too small, a problem they NEVER would have had if they kept their original DS in the first place.
For the few people (likely no one) who gets the reference - Idiocracy is hardly a fictional movie.

It is precedented for Nintendo Handhelds to have 3 or more revisions. Look at the GBA for example.
Why would they do it? To counter Sony's PSP revision and to make buckets of cash from the increase in DS sales. The last DS revision turned things around for them in NA. Just think what a 2nd revision could accomplish for them.
Post by: Ian Sane on July 06, 2007, 12:55:46 PM
So Nintendo are evil by not making the old DS anymore and by introducing a problem with the Lite that the old DS didn't have. Okay I'll give everyone a little bit of slack (but not those who sold their old DS) but man Nintendo is just manipulating everyone with their portables (assuming they do introduce a third DS). Makes one feel kind of guilty for being their fan. I guess the new DS will be covered in shart spines and if you have a problem with that in two years you can buy the DS Smooth and everything will be okay, unless of course you have a problem with holding a DS the burns your hands. Then you'll have to buy a DS Cool.

1.) A Zelda RPG game and/or another Mario RPG game, perhaps with the partnership of Square-Enix.
2.) A brand new 1st or 2nd party M-rated franchise to plug that hole and shut up Nintendo bashers who claim Nintendo only makes games for children.
3.) A 3rd person 3D or 2D Metroid game more in line with the older ones.
4.) An online MMORPG set in the Zelda or Mario universe. For as popular as these types of games are, Nintendo would be foolish not to make one.
5.) A DS revision that includes an SD card slot and allows the ability to play multimedia. Also includes built in Opera browser, Rumble capability, Tilt Pak, and online version of Pictochat and Mario Paint. In fact, you can save your Mario Paint works to the SD card to be printed or uploaded on your PC.
6.) A lightgun peripheral is announced for the Wii that looks and feels just like a real gun, but hooks up to the Nunchuck and works well for FPS type games. Plus this will come bundled with a game that makes good use of it, and this game will have a T or M rating to shatter Nintendo's kid only stereotype.
7.) We will see an Animal Crossing MMORPG for the Wii and perhaps a new version for the DS which will interoperate with the Wii version.
8.) Nintendo will announce a partnership with Youtube and/or Myspace for an exclusive Wii channel for their sites with special features.
9.) Nintendo will start offering music and video downloads on a Wii channel, which can be downloaded and accessed from both the Wii and the DS revision I proposed above.
10.) We will see a keyboard peripheral designed for the Wii and perhaps a mini-keyboard that plugs into the GBA slot of the DS for a more PDA feel.
11.) Reggie will be arrested for literally kicking someone's ass at the conference

I really doubt Nintendo intentionally created problems with the DS phat so they could profit by selling a better version later. Why would they have intentionally made that model so large and ugly considering the threat that was posed by the impending PSP? The PSP outsold the original model DS until the Lite came out. I don't think Nintendo wanted to make the Phat suck so much...
Most likely they had to rush it out so it would be ready for holiday '04 to give them a headstart over the PSP. Otherwise they'd surely have taken more time and what they released would have come out much later, but more refined.
Of course, I still only have the Phat model, and it works fine by me, but I do admit it is large and ugly. I see no need to upgrade to the Lite. But if Nintendo released another revision with enhanced capabilities I'd certainly go for it.

And what about older people who have trouble seeing? You can't tell them to buy new eyes. I think a larger screen model is actually a good strategy when you think about reaching new gamers, especially if a certain audience is telling you they want what you're selling. I don't know if this new model would replace Lite, but I don't think it needs to. The new model would cater to a specific audience, if anyone else wants to join in, that's really on them.
I'm perfectly happy with Lite. However, upcoming games like Ring of Fates and Contra IV really make me want another DS so I can play co-op with my brother.

Nintendo will not do exactly what everyone predicts
they will do something different, yet it will be a progressive of something they were already doing.
1. Nintendo will show off a new Zelda game, but it won't be your regular Zelda game, it will be an online game, but not how you expect. It wont be an mmo. instead it will be a new four swords game, but the world wont be open, youll play the game with up to four players from your friends list. no more than that. it will be online but not massivey multiplayer, and it might not even be 3d.
2. a new donkey kong game will be announced that will look pretty good, it will take full advantage of the wii mote, and donkey kong will have a vine lasso. The game will involve lasssoing and swinging from tree to tree.
3 ubisoft may or not make a sequal to red steel, it is posible the game will be similar,but only a "spiritual successor" because while Red Steel sold fairly well, it was poorly reviewed.
4 Metroid will be a hit of the show, one wonders however if it is not online, doe that mean there is no off line multiplayer as well.
5. possibly due to demand a kid ikarus sequal will be announced, and a new f-zero(however when this f-zero does come out it will be harshley reviewed for not being much different the f-zero gx)
6. Miyamoto will show off some features to some weird successor to stage debut, but this will infact never come out.
7. Demand for a new Pikmin are high, but for several years Nintendo will just put it to sleep until another 2 generations.

Well, the interviews with Retro Studios all say something along the lines of "there is no multiplayer so we could focus all our resources on making the single player the best it could be".
So, probably not. Metroid doesn't need multiplayer to be good anyway.

They have that already for the Xbox 360 (or it will be coming out I should say). It's called Rock Band and you have one person play the Guitar, another players the drums, one player sings into a mic and I forgot what the 4th was might be another guitar.

If it were, the whole world would be inhabited by other players, or you would be able to log into a portion of the game that allowed you to hop on Wifi and walk around and interact with many other players (more than just 1 other person or whomever you may meet up with in a union room) than it would be considered an MMO.
However, it just isn't.

Same here. It would do more harm to the series' than good.
If Nintendo is ever going to do an MMO it will be based on Pokemon. It's already a RPG,in the more traditional sense, though I know Zelda is taged as an RPG . . . which I don't agree with. ANYWAY . . . there's online communities already up with mock online tournaments, IRC chats dedicated to the trading of Pokemon, trading of items, and setting up online battles.
The inclusion of online play on the DS and Wii version went over extremely well and the next logical step would be to plan out how to get all these people to pay a monthly fee to play all together online in one big expansive pokemon universe.

They would probably need a dedicated server system separate from the current Wifi infrastructure, a development team to keep up with developing new content and tweaking existing content, a team of GMs, so on and so forth.
If they DIDN'T charge for it, I would be shocked and I am sure Nintendo would overthrow Blizzard's WoW as the company with the most popular MMO =)
Post by: Strell on July 08, 2007, 12:33:49 PM
Seems like a game that you couldn't possibly screw up.
But eh. I don't think Nintendo wants to fork over the cash for a perpetual online world, so I don't expect it to ever happen. At least not until they hear about WoW, which they seem to do an astonishing job of continuing to remain clueless about.
Post by: Kairon on July 08, 2007, 01:54:53 PM
The Pokemon franchise is awesome, don't get me wrong, but the very core of the gameplay drive would need to be reconceptualized if they brought it MMO.
Post by: Mashiro on July 08, 2007, 02:08:16 PM
You could make the game design based around the current game set up where the main difference would be you could access all regions of the Pokemon universe as oppsed to just one. Each region would still have gyms and such and even NPCs to battle you for XP and money just like it is in the existing game set up.
The PvP element would be that you can walk around and challenge people to pokemon battles and you can easily include an "ignore" option if a player is buggin you with repeated requests.
It isn't WoW where I can run around and just slaughter someone in a non-contested zone.
I'm not saying it would be easy to get the Pokemon MMO formula to be just right to appeal to everyone but the game isn't that poorly set up as is with how things work.
Post by: Kairon on July 08, 2007, 02:21:44 PM
A Pokemon MMO should be more than a reskinned generic Korean MMO #658. I may be an idealist, but that's my stance.

They've heard of WoW. But they've also heard of Auto Assault.
"Hey guys! Blizzard has like 8 million subscribers! This MMO thing is FREE MONEY! With a $15 million investment, by this time next year, WE'LL BE RICH."
Seriously, the only genre that can rival FPS' for how congested, contested, faddish, expensive, risky, difficult, problematic, ridiculous, and disappointingly similar to everything else out there are MMO games. And I really, really, really want to play MMO games.

1. star fox wii: comes with a headset for online, in-game, chatting for co-op missions as well as multiplayer. The game will have free roam and linear levels, though linear levels will have more routes to take with different boss battles. This would be good for co-op since your team can split up and open up new paths to reach andross (or whomever the enemy is).
2. Mother wii: not a new game but remakes of all 3 mother games in one little package. The game will have more of 3D sprite look to it. Enhanced soundtrack as preorder bonus.
3. Goldeneye as a wiiware title, enhanced for online multiplayer*
4. DS-Wii connectivity announcement: GB/GBA games added to VC to be played at home or on the go.
5. Mario Artist announced for wii: dedicated game as opposed to a channel so it doesn't use up system memory, includes all 5 parts of the N64DD expansions, uses wiimote and ds for input. Example: draw a box or circle around an object you wish to draw on, the field you circled transfers to ds screen for zoomed in look for more precise drawing.
6. DS camera announced: finally get to put our face in games like we were meant to do in Perfect Dark, doubles as video chat for ds and wii games
and heres a non nintendo one: new Killer Instinct for 360 but it turns out sucky cuz Rare sucks
Remember i said in the beginning this was a fanboy wishlist and not a prediction of what we'll actually see

Ah! It's coming true!!!
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on July 08, 2007, 04:41:35 PM
I'm not sure if that is a real game, but someone somewhere had mentioned it, and it sounded bizarre enough to be true.
EDIT: See I knew I saw that mentioned somewhere, I just couldn't remember where.
p.s. I don't think a Pokemon MMO is likely to happen as Nintendo wants everyone to continually buy more games from them and the 3rd parties. But if 8million of you are stuck playing just PokeMMOn for the next 8-12+ months then you aren't buying other games. That is not very good for a company that needs healthy 3rd party support and therefore need individual game sales to remain high.
EDIT 2: I expect to see Rock Band get announced for Wii but it won't be released at the same time as the 360 or PS3 versions.

Are you trying to make me feel better? Because it's not helping... ;_;
Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Kid Icarus...Wii Sports II (come ooooon, Wiiplane!)...Some other random non-game that will sell a million copies, probably by taking some boring, menial task and making it fun...Metroid 2D DS...New Super Mario Brothers 2...New RPG (most likely from Monolith) shown in video form...And I think that's all I'd like to see...

Golden Sun for Wii
Pretty please?

Wow... that's VERY true, and a great reason why a Pokemon MMO would be a horrible idea on Nintendo's part.
Post by: EasyCure on July 08, 2007, 05:31:35 PM
about the pokemon thing: thats a very very good point but don't you think if nintendo did want to release a pokemon mmorpg they'd find a way to sell you their other pokemon games too? for example new content only unlocked thru a new game. They love making money so i'm sure they'd pull some sort of “stunt” like that.
that still doesn't help out the third party situation so its still a bad idea. Oh well, i don't play pokemon any more
Post by: Mashiro on July 08, 2007, 05:47:46 PM
I would settle for a leader board system and some sort of official online tournament . . . maybe, if that's not too much to ask for.

Nintendo
The "new" storage for the Wii will be the SD card they will increase the maximum size that can be used. (Because I know it can read a 4GB just can't write to it which means it has the ability to do so but not the software to do so.) An upgrade will be available "by the end of the year" (2008) which will enable games to run off it and use it as storage memory.
New IPs will be announce by Nintendo which will encite confusion but will bought and played non-the-less.
Monolith will show off an RPG title we won't get for a year or so. But it will look good and have a strange story line.
We will start to see a bigger percentage of shovel ware and me-too titles from 3rd parties with one or two potenial gems.
What ever happens Nintendo fans will complain that ________ wasn't announced or that didn't happen.
Sony
Will claim that the PS3 is beating the competition in some exstenalist way, will downplay problems, admitt to making mistakes while making claims only mircles could fulfill.
Some titles, will be announced that will be proclaimed PS3 exclusive, and announced for the 360 in two months.
A price cut will announced as in the works but no other information will be handed out.
Sony taking another page from the almost disgarded Nintendo handbook will say that the 1st party will carry the day while announcing Jak and Dexter XXXIII, Legend of Lugaia: Didn't we play this same title twice before and Wild Arms LV: Where in the world is the continuity. And more on the Rachet and Clank.
Square will announce their undying love for the PS3 once again will announcing 15 titles for the DS, 360, Wii and PS2.
The PSP will take a biger presence in the show.
New PS2 titles will be announced.
An expensive and convoluded pricing sceme will be announced for the PS network.
Microsoft
Will claim victory in some fasion. Down play its need for Red Ring of Death insurance.
Halo 3 will slip to a November release date fans will riot.
Microsoft will take pot shots at both Nintendo and Sony this year.

Bill: So 3D is a way of organizing things, particularly as we’re getting much more media information on the computer, a lot more choices, a lot more navigation than we’ve ever had before. And we can take that into this communications world where the PC is playing a much more central role, kind of taking over what was the PBX, sort of one of the last mainframes in the business environment. That will be a big change that will come to it. And as we get natural input, that will cause a change. … Software is doing vision and so, you know, imagine a game machine where you’re just going to pick up the bat and swing it or the tennis racket and swing it.
Walt: We have one of those.
Kara: Yeah. Wii.
Bill: No, that’s not it. You can’t pick up your tennis racket. And swing it. You can’t sit there with your friends and do those natural things. That’s a 3D positional device. This is video recognition.
Still one of my favorite points in any interview, silly Bill!

Third parties will show a handful of new games, but still not enough (and not hardcore enough) to satisfy the hardcore contingent. Nintendo's overall showing will be considered underwhelming because the huge sales of their hardware will relieve the company of the need to unveil games months (or years) in advance to keep people happy.
Sony will have a good show after last year's humiliation, but will people actually care about it's first party lineup? No new motion controls.
Microsoft will have the most real games to show off. Maybe it will have some crazy Wii-like accessory like Kairon suggested, who knows?

It just doesn't make much sense . . . I don't see a need for it. In those games its (usually) only the main character who saves the day. Mario or Link. While the worlds themselves are fanciful and interesting they don't make for a good MMO setting.
What would people play? A Hyrule Guard? Toad?
It just doesn't make for a good MMO.

Don't know what made me think of this but i'd love to see an Earthworm Jim game on wii, a 3rd person shooter with plenty of crazy mini games thrown into the mix and plenty of goofy waggle ideas i.e. snot whipping with the nunchuk or cow wrangling/lassoing (sp?) with the wiimote

Well, in the case of the Mario universe a person could choose their class of any of the things that have appeared in Mario games. For example, a person could be a Goomba, or a Koopa, or a Toad, or a Yoshi, or god knows what.... Or it could use the Mii system for your character.
But maybe it could be like Super Smash Bros. in that all the Nintendo franchises would come together in some sort of ficttional realm where the MMORPG would take place. It couldn't be taken too seriously, but it would probably be a great deal of fun.

You could play different classes (colors) of yoshis, and there'd be tons of accessorizing you could do (bows, Boshi's signature shades, rad saddles to wear, boots... etc.). And since everyone would be Yoshi's, there'd be the most awesome cute animations and sounds to the game, and you could all go out on group quests (akin to PSO) to find missing yoshies, harvest materials, investigate mysteries, make deliveries... and the like!
